Softward raid with vista 64?

I have vista ultimate 64 and would like to install raid 1 with two identical drives (not the boot disks).  Software raid is possible?

Hello

 
Yes you can use software RAID (redundant array of independent Disk).
You can implement RAID at the hardware or software level. When implemented at the hardware level, seller of the equipment provides an interface to manage the tables and pilots to support different operating systems, with which you may have to work. Treatment for the RAID array is provided by a processor separate integrated in the RAID controller, offloading the CPU of the computer work. In addition, many RAID controllers often include a large dedicated RAM cache with battery backup. The combination of a separate CPU and a separate cache provides a substantial advantage over software RAID. Hardware RAID is usually significantly more expensive than software RAID built into Windows, but many manufacturers now include features basic on the motherboard hardware RAID.
Vista includes an excellent and flexible RAID levels 0, 1, and 5 application in the software. It covers the possibilities by any means, but it's certainly enough for some purposes.
 
Primary GUI (graphic interface) for the management of the disks under Windows is the disk management console.
Although disk management provides a solution suitable software RAID, hardware RAID is widely available, either the original seller of Windows or third parties, and it offers substantial advantages over software RAID. Hardware RAID solutions range from a simple RAID controller, integrated to the motherboard and fully integrated and autonomous subsystems. Features and costs vary, but all say they provide superior performance and reliability on a simple software RAID solution such as the one included in Windows.

  • Impossible to install XP on a 9200 that came with Vista

    With so many problems with Vista with own MS software and I want to install XP on it. Have a new drive ard of Seagate Barracuda that I might as well keep the Vista disc in case it improves.

    However when I booted the CD XP2 home installation he loaded the original installation files and then says that the PC will have to shut down to protect it. Suggested looking for viruses and remove all material or new hard disks. I unplugged all readers secondary peripheral USB etc. Dell tell me that I do not violate my warranty and that the 9200 should run XP but cannot help in addition.

    Examined the installer and it is configured to RAID only, but the VISTA disc should do a long to itself repair after I tried the RAID Autodetect / ATA option that seemed a solution possible.


  • 24 of Firefox with vista to date fails to display icons on the new Yahoo Mail and other web sites — especially icons such as facebook, twitter WHY?

    Web sites like murraystivoli.com that display the facebook and twitter icons and in particular the new Yahoo Mail interface fail to display the icons. I see only a small rectangle. On Yahoo Mail, there are a few inside but instead it should be the display arrows, images of envelopes or as medium icons or 'send '. The new interface is useless without correct icon translation - can not see the arrows for 'reply' 'reply to all '. It works on Internet Explore on Vista; It works on Firefox on Windows XP (it's the way back level) then why do we see this problem with Vista and Firefox update (we 24.0 but saw problems on websites that I don't care that much about other levels of Firefox also.)

    Help, please!

    Same problem here... I have no icons or tick boxes at all in Yahoo mail and it affects a good few other sites too, just small square boxes with numbers inside. It's really annoying!

    I have a Satellite Pro S200 and the same problem was with my camera. It s is not a hardware problem, it s more a driver related issue No. So, the best thing you can do is update your bios and keep your drivers up-to-date. Just check the download Drivers Toshiba site and make sure you have the latest drivers installed.

  • How to partition Satellite A300 - 21 H with Vista?

    Hello
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 - 21 H with Vista and dual you want to boot with ubuntu linux. At present, there are three partitions, recovery vista 1.5 GB, 150 GB C and 150 GB E (with recovery of HARD drive inside). My ubuntu, I would like to partitions / and / Home (about 150 GB). Should I delete the partition E? I have my recovery DVD's...

    What is the best approach, I think that linux is only 4 partitions.

    > Should I delete the partition E?
    If you created the recovery DVDs, you can remove HDDRecovery and use the second partition for Linux. When you want to install once again just use recovery media created Vista.

    If you change the structure of the partition, no doubt, you will not be able to use saved image in this folder.

  • Satellite P with Vista series load very slow on start up

    Hello

    I assume you are using the Vista operating system. Am I wrong?
    Well, the Vista operating system needs a lot of material resources like OS first, that is to say XP.

    This is why all computers work slower with Vista for another OS that is XP but I think it is nothing exceptional, due to the fact that the Vista eat resources of the computer due to new features such as Aero, new photo and video files, Direct10X, etc..

    What you could do is update the memory which allows for slightly better performance, but you shouldn't t expect a big difference.

  • Satellite M50: How to make the media buttons on the right works with Vista

    Hello
    I successfully upgraded to Vista a all parts have been recognized in the right way.
    Now I am looking for a method to make the multimedia control buttons works with vista.

    You know a laptop that has the buttons too and for whom is the Vista drivers available?

    Kind regards
    Steffen Schreyer

    Hello

    Generally these additional buttons needs a Toshiba control utility which is responsible for the good condition of these key market.
    Unfortunately, it does appear that an update of the BIOS and the driver of BT has been published for the Satellite M50 PSM53.

    But in other sections, you might find a value-added package for Vista.
    This package includes a few additional applications.

    Maybe this works on an M50. Check the download page of several series of laptops on the pilot.
    If this will not work, then you can do nothing ;(

  • Tecra A9 came with Vista and XP, the disks - but can not activate XP

    Hello

    I have a Tecra A9, it came with Vista Business pre-installed and on a recovery disk. It also came with a XP Recovery disk.

    Part of the documentation in the box suggests that I should be able to simply install XP from the recovery disc. I tried this, but I can't activate XP. I called the number of Microsoft on the activation screens and entered all the numbers, but I then told me that there is an error and I should change my product key.

    My laptop on a a Vista product key stuck on the bottom. So, I seems to be a little stuck.

    The sheet that was in the box says:

    "it's additionall equipped with a Windows XP Professional Recovery DVD - ROM that allows you to easily install this operating system on your own. To do this, follow the instructions on the packaging of the DVD of restoration"

    Usefully, there is no instructions on the packaging of recovery DVDs, I expected maybe a XP product key or something... But clearly not.

    How should I proceed?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Sorry, but I'm a little confused. As much as I know Toshiba recovery image should not be enabled and if you please be so kind and explains what exactly happens when you try to use recovery media?

    On what stage you must enter the product key?

    Hello!

    Create a new partition for Windows XP and install it. There is no problem.

    After that, you need to restore the Windows Vista boot loader. You can do this with EasyBCD. Install and start the program.
    Go to the tab "Add/Remove entries". You will see that there is only one option available in the bootloader of Vista at the moment. In the "Add an entry" section, replace the drive in the menu drop-down of C:\ E:\. Change Type "Windows NT / 2 k/XP / 2 k 3" and the name of "Microsoft Windows XP". Then click on 'Add an entry' and 'save '.
    Then go to the "Manage Bootloader" tab make sure "Reinstall the Vista Bootloader" is selected, then click on "write the MBR.

    Now you can restart the laptop and you should have a full system dual boot to work.

  • Network stops working in Tecra M9 with Vista OS?

    We have four Toshiba tecra M9 (processor T7500 2.2 ghz) laptop computers with installed in the factory version of Microsoft windows vista business and the other with toshiba charges not install Vista Ultimate version. All of these laptops have the exact same problem.

    Network sometimes stops working and nothing but allows you to restart the computer?
    Thing is that generally you cannot restart the computer event because it crashes of disconnection or closure of State.

    Theres just no clear reason for this one and it happens now and then.
    Sometimes several times a day and sometimes it works for days. No matter whether you are connected or not anchored. We have several workstations, PC and other laptops of brand with exactly same configuration/programs and no problem.

    Any help would be great because users are not very happy with this situation and we do not want to go back to windows XP (which works without problem in M9).

    Hmm. very interesting Question. Have you tried to update the BIOS?
    How about the latest Vista patches and fixes?

    I read that there are many bugs with Vista OS and Microsoft releases slowly unique fixed so I think you should check out these opportunities!

  • Printer driver is not compatible with Vista

    The software with my hp psc 1210 printer is incompatible with my new laptop with Vista operating system. This screw my laptop closed loading! How can I find a driver download what suits Vista?

    and why put this here in the forum for Toshiba notebook if your printer isn't even a Toshiba product?
    The printer driver must be requested from the manufacturer of the printer and not the manufacturer of the computer/laptop.

    I guess it's an older printer and the drivers were only compatible with Win XP and more.

    To contact the manufacturer of the printer to get the drivers for Vista or Win 7
